good tyre place and $$$ prices

its the width of the tyre that mostly determines whether u will have massive stretch or not.

for instance for a 7 inch wheel, 205 tyres would sit flush with the edge of the wheels, 215 tyres is a tad wider, but still reasonable, 225 tyres is a bit pushing it, but i think mostly used on track/drag cars

for 8 inch wheel, i would say the "safe and legal" size would be either 215 or 225, from there its up to you to choose the profiles that would suit your car best, taking into account rubbing issues etc etc.

i found this from honda tech, just for your reference

15x9 front
15x8 rear
225/45/15 tires

i had 195/50/r15 on mine, this is raw fitment without camber kit



this is after camber kit (-3deg camber)

also, this has to be one of the best sites i've ever come across:

stretching will also depend on the brand/make of tyres as different companies make them slightly different to other companies.

i got 195/50 toyo t1r on 15x8 +/-0




it will also depend on how low you are, how much guard work youve done and how much negative camber you are willing to run.

my rear camber is between -5 & -5.5 degrees and my front camber is around -4 degrees.

full car shot on how it sits/low it is.


personally i think http://www.rimtuck.com/ & http://www.tyrestretch.com/index.php are alot more useful then willtheyfit.com

hope that helps?

I cant believe it would rub. There seems like plenty of clearance. .____.
Im surprised you havent been raped ten times over by police.

~5mm clearance. i think most of the rubbing issue is the big sidewalls.

i dont live in metro vic, i live out in rural vic

Bendigo is rural and they are the worst with the hoon laws. I am impressed though, but that might just be due to the fact that if you tried to drive on the roads I do you would raise it inches after one drive.

lol **** bendigo.

the town i live in is in my profile...

ive been driving like this for 5-6 weeks and not once been pulled over, driven past numerous cops.

haha i doubt i would raise it.
